Needs an advice

Hey! I was thinking about pursuing a career in AppSec because I'm pretty good at reviewing source code. However, some people have suggested that I shouldn't go into AppSec since I don't have a software development background.

What about web security? Does the same rule apply there, or is it different?

needs advice

I don't have a development background & I'm thinking about getting into (AppSec). I have learned some Java & Kotlin & to be honest, I haven't even started studying the OWASP Top 10 yet. Even so I can sometimes spot vulnerabilities and suggest possible remediations.

My main concern isn't coding. What confuses me is that many redditors say that if you want to work in AppSec, you should first spend two years as a software developer and then move into AppSec. If I do that, I feel like it will be too late.

What should I do? I'm worried that if I spend the next 6–7 months learning AppSec seriously, I might later discover that companies only hire AppSec engineers who have a software development background.

Please i am very confused. If this field is not for me i am ready to quit with hevay heart

Could you please give me serious advice?

Is AI red teaming worth pursue ?

Heyy, I have foundational knowledge of web attacks & also found some few bugs but the field is much saturated. What do you guys think about AI/LLM hacking? Is it worth time investing? Does it have scope ?

Is appsec for me or not ?

I have spent nearly a year learning web penetration testing & it has been an interesting journey for me. Now, I am moving toward Application Security (AppSec).

​

My question is: my technical background is not very strong. Although I am a Computer Science student, I do not have deep coding knowledge. I only know the basics of Kotlin and Java, such as variables, classes, functions, conditions, operators, loops, objects, and classes.

​

Should I continue with AppSec, or should I choose a different path?
